Oscar Pistorious leads revolt against badly-stiched pyjamas: official kit ditched in favour of black suits

The South African Paralympics team ditched their official Olympic opening ceremony kit in favour of black suits.

Oscar Pistorius, who led the revolt against the teams’ organisers with a tirade of complaints and accusations, likened the official kit to “badly-stitched pyjamas”.

The South African Olympic teams’ dress has been unofficially dubbed the worst kit of the Beijing 2008 games by bloggers and commentators alike – a sentiment echoed by millions of South Africans.
